3.8 LED Indication
The Tow-Pro
®
Elite will indicate both Mode and Fault Condition through colour and fl ash
sequences of the LED indicator. The table below shows how the Tow-Pro
®
Elite will
indicate Normal Operation of the unit.
NOTE: LEDs will glow full brightness when gain control is adjusted or manual
override is pressed. After release of the gain control knob the LED brightness
will reduce. This is designed to be less intrusive on driver’s vision at night.

1. Sleep Mode occurs when there is no trailer connected to the vehicle.
2. Breathing, as opposed to fl ashing, is the LED gradually getting brighter until its brightest point and then gradually
dimming until off. In the event of trailer disconnection, breathing will occur after 1 minute.
3. The LED will vary between the Mode Colour (Blue or Green) and Red depending on the braking force.
3.9 Troubleshooting
The Tow-Pro
®
Elite features sophisticated diagnostics to warn the operator of faults in
the vehicle and trailer brake wiring. Wiring faults are indicated by a series of colour coded
fl ash patterns on the Tow-Pro
®
Elite LED.
Most faults turn out to be something simple such as a poor connection from a dirty trailer
socket, however a fault indication should not be ignored! It is a warning; if left unattended
such wiring faults can become worse and may lead to deterioration or loss of trailer
braking.
Please refer to the table on pages 17 & 18 for the list of fl ash patterns, showing the cause
& recommended course of action for each of the conditions which may be detected.
Even intermittent faults are detected and may be indicated until cleared.
Fault codes can be cleared by unplugging the trailer for 1 min then reconnecting.
